Good Omens – Filming has started in London

Showrunner Neil Gaiman has released a first look at Michael Sheen and David Tennant as the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley. Filming for the series started today in London for this six-part series TV adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Sir Terry Pratchett’s celebrated novel Good Omens. The films for the series will continue over the next six months in London, Oxfordshire and South Africa. It will air on Amazon Prime Video first and then on BBC Two at a later date in 2019.

Today, showrunner and scriptwriter Neil Gaiman stated, “People have fallen in love with an angel and a demon in a book by Terry Pratchett and me, and they have been excited and nervous to see how they would appear on screen – and I was probably the most nervous and excited of all. This is a first look. Michael Sheen is the best and finest of bookseller angels, David Tennant the coolest and most delightful of demons. Together they are one hell of a double act (or do I mean one made in Heaven?)”
